ORIGIN

This 1988 Mercedes-Benz GD250 was sold new in Germany and exported to Spain in 1996 by the previous owner. The current owner acquired the truck in 2015 and has driven it about 10k kilometers since. Recently imported to the US, this example is equipped with an unmodified five-cylinder diesel and 5-speed manual gearbox. Cosmetics are believed to remain largely original, and maintenance within the past year included a replacement transfer case gasket, thermostat and heater repair, and a brake service. This G-wagon is now being offered on behalf of the current owner with records from recent service, import documents, and a clear Illinois title.

Some touch-up is reportedly present around the door hinges, though the seller believes that the white exterior is mostly original. A set of fog lights have been fitted up front, and Spanish plates remain installed.

The cabin has seating for five, and the rear bench folds-forward for increased storage. The plaid cloth and rubber clad flooring present well in the provided pictures.

An inclinometer and thermometer have been added to the dash top. 20k kilometers (~12k miles) are shown on the odometer, which the seller believes has rolled over once. The instrument backlights are currently inoperable.

Under the hood is a naturally-aspirated OM602 2.5L diesel five-cylinder. The truck also features a 5-speed manual gearbox and a mechanically-operated transfer case. Known service work included the installation of new motor mounts, a transfer case gasket, new thermostat, repaired heater, and a replacement brake compensator. The seller indicates that it runs well, without any major leaks and that the high and low range work as intended.

Import and inspection documentation are shown in the gallery below along with Spanish work receipts.
